A curator in Peru named Illiat contacts Lara's good friend
Professor Igor Bowmane. The man warns the professor that
certain "organizations" have been asking for
information regarding the location of the manuscripts.
Lara Croft has been contacted
by her good friend Professor Igor Bowmane, who works in the
Ancient Artifact department at the University of Moscow. He
has told her of an old manuscript which recounts the last few
years of the reign of Moctezuma II, found by a captain under
the leadership of the Spanish Conquistador Cortez.
The
manuscript tells of the legend of "THE NIGHTMARE
STONE," one of the few sacred icons the Spanish failed to
plunder. According to the manuscript, there once was an evil
god named Quaxet, who ruled the Aztec, Mayan and Inca lands.
To stop the evil Quaxet, all three cultures joined forces.
Three High Priests battled and defeated Quaxet and entombed
his spirit in a crystal orb. From that day, the crystal orb
was named "THE NIGHTMARE STONE." To prevent anyone
from ever unleashing Quaxet again, the stone was sealed in a
vast Obelisk and then sealed in a temple built by the Priests.
Professor Bowmane tells Lara
that he has been in contact with his friend Illiat, a fellow
curator in Peru, who warns him that there have been
'interested parties' inquiring about the whereabouts of the
manuscript. Illiat, unsure of their motives, has told them
nothing.
Bowmane
wants Lara to find the stone before it falls into the wrong
hands. Lara immediately embarks for the jungles of Peru to
meet Illiat at the ancient temple entrance where the stone is
hidden.
Upon arrival at the camp
outside the temple, Lara finds nobody waiting for her - she
finds only the remnants of a struggle, including Illiat's
broken glasses, and footsteps leading to the edge of the
temple. Lara looks all around the temple's edge, pulling and
pushing at rocks, until an opening appears before her. Being
Lara, she casually strolls in the temple and watches the
opening close behind her...
